Vintage 1950s Missouri DEPT of CORRECTIONS Prison GUARD HAT + BADGE BLACKINTON

Description

Here is a vintage Missouri Dept of Corrections hat/cap.  I think this is from the 1950s or 60s, but not sure.   The hat is adjustable, so it should fit just about anyone.   The original hat was size 7 3/4-8, but the adapter inside is the adjustable part.   The 'pointed' tips on the hat remind me of 1950s or 60s police hats.  The badge is marked Blackinton.  This is a very nice hat.      Please see pic for more details.
THIS CAME FROM THE ESTATE OF A MAN WHO WORKED IN THE DEPT IN THE 1960s THROUGH THE 1980s.  I HAVE A FEW OTHER LOTS WITH MORE OF HIS WORK ITEMS.  COMBINE ITEM AND I WILL COMINE SHIPPING.
